Introducing Gifblog

Oct 24, 2015

Lately I have thought about the point of blogging, as well as social media in general, as it relates to me. That my content — my inane tweets on 4 Corners for example, or the photos I take from time to time — generally resides somewhere I don’t have control over isn’t something that sits totally comfortably with me. Further, because blogging is a dense medium, and takes time to curate, I find myself with a folder full of drafts, and few thoughts fleshed out satisfactorily. While in a given instance I might be reluctant to go to the effort of a blog post, overall, this means I have much less of a record of simply what I’ve been up to.

Given that I don’t really use Facebook at all, and that Twitter is basically ephemeral in nature, I’m going to try this out for a while. Initially, it will update at 9am every day, with a short GIF from my life. I’ve added the ability for notes to be displayed too, but I’m trying to keep it as stripped-down and functional as possible.

This is for both myself and you, dear reader, so feel free to stop by.
